Aloha Tim (and for all of you NG people - I'm only top-posting because the
thread will make more sense this way now it's been started.) Thanks for the encouraging words. My cats are still doing well and are now even sleeping with me at night, which they've NEVER done before. I think they are going to be permanent indoor cats from now on. Well, at least one of them will be. If I ever get the chance to buy my own property and build a house I think I'll let my female orange-striped cat out. My black and white is just loving being indoors. My only problem with her is that she's getting extremely interested in what I'm making and eating for dinner! LOL. And she's loudly announcing her presence as she's waiting for a piece of food to fall her way. g Yesterday I found her observing me from the kitchen counter (what bit of counterspace I have in this box) and she's never done that before! Currently, I have each one of my cats on either side of me as I type - one on the left and one on the right. They always have to be right by me. I got fairly angry at Mr. Bob Brenchley. I don't usually do that. The point I was trying to make was that I was forced to move out of my house that I'd been in for almost 8 years because the landlady wanted it back for her son who was getting married. When I took on pets I made a *lifetime* decision. They're like kids, you don't get rid of them when life becomes *inconvenient*. It took me a month and a half to even find a place that would let me take my animals and I'm paying over $500 more a month to do so for less than half the space I had before. Yes, it's an apartment setting and my cats aren't free to go out. I could let them out on the lanai, but if they decide to jump over, well, bye-bye. It's a long drop down. NO thank you. There are over 80,000 feral cats on Maui alone. The humane society just recently built a $250,000 cat house to house all the caught/dropped off, unwanted cats on the island. Unfortunately, the new cat house along with the old house, can only hold so many and at least 20 cats are put down daily. To have Bob make such a suggestion that I should give my cats up because I can no longer let them outside is ludicrous! They'd most likely be put down! Is having them put down a better thing for them than being inside where they're loved and cared for? Sorry...........I'm getting worked up again. Jeesh! I didn't mean to rant on because of some trolling, closed-minded person and I appreciate all the kind words everyone gave me regarding my situation. Point is, I love my animals and where I go, for better or worse, they go with me. kilikini P.S. Kilikini means Christine in Hawaiian - well it's a diminutive term. Kilikina technically means Christine. Kilikini is almost like Christy. "Tropical Tim" wrote in message m... Hey Kilikini, What a drag having to move like that. I've always heard that Hawaii is costly to live in, but the rent your paying is awesome. Lots of luck with you cats. All of my cats always live indoors. They love it. Don't ever listen to that weird dude Bob Brenchley. The dude is a mess. He's about 5 cans short of a sixpack. By the way, what does your name mean? Tim "kilikini" wrote in message ... I've had one of my cats for 8 years and the other for 7 years and since I live in Hawaii it's not a big deal to leave a door open - literally. I just moved to an apartment and I don't have the liberty of allowing my cats the freedeom to go in and out. Now they have to use a litterbox and the outside is a vague memory to them. In all honesty, they are flourishing! My cats used to be feral; I rescued them when each one was about 10 weeks old. For never being cooped up before, I think they love it. They seek out more attention, they're more loving, they purr more loudly, they are eating better and their personalities are really coming out. I think they feel more secure. They're even learning to get along with the dog.......but that's another story. g kilikini |

Seems our resident troll Bob has quite a history of being a moron. Enjoy! http://badtux.net/bob-faq.html Well, I don't go along with Brenchley's put-downs of people with whom he disagrees, and certainly cats should not be given chocolate, and on occasion he does, IMO, cross the line from strongly opinionated to flamingly fanatic. But all that said, I kind of hate to see the bad rap about him on Google, as if all he ever did was troll. I think the guy has a clever sense of humor, a right to express himself in this forum, and the occasional productive remarks to contribute. He's been on here forever, and (all of those aliases aside, not of which I've encountered that I know of) can always be counted on to be precisely and unashamedly himself. I prefer to think of him not as a troll, but as a colorful character. But that's just me. -- Diana Portal To My Pages http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/r/drdrive/ |

For 2002, the latest year that figures are currently available for, the RSPCA put down less that 1,200 nation-wide in the whole year. That works out a just over 3 per day - for a country the size of the UK. And believe me, we find even that 1,200 a totally unacceptable figure.
